Safety information

Connect the power cord directly to an appropriately rated and properly grounded electrical outlet that is near the

product and easily accessible.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Do not use this product with extension cords, multioutlet power strips,

multioutlet extenders, or other types of surge or UPS devices. The power rating capacity of these types of

accessories can be easily overloaded by a laser printer and may result in poor printer performance, property

damage, or potential fire.

Do not place or use this product near water or wet locations.

Use care when you replace a lithium battery.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: There is a danger of explosion if a lithium battery is incorrectly replaced.

Replace it only with the same or an equivalent type of lithium battery. Do not recharge, disassemble, or

incinerate a lithium battery. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions and local

regulations.

CAUTION—HOT SURFACE: The inside of the printer might be hot. To reduce the risk of injury from a hot

component, allow the surface to cool before touching.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each tray separately. Keep all

other trays closed until needed.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: The printer weight is greater than 18 kg (40 lb) and requires two or more

trained personnel to lift it safely.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Before moving the scanner, follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury or

scanner damage:

• Turn off the scanner using the power switch, and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

• Disconnect all cords and cables from the scanner before moving it.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury or scanner damage:

• Make sure your fingers are not under the scanner when you set it down.

• Put the scanner on a flat and stable surface.

• Before setting up the scanner, make sure there is adequate clearance around it.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Before moving the printer, follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury or

printer damage:

• Turn off the printer, and then unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

• Disconnect all cords and cables from the printer.

• If two or more optional finishers are installed, then remove the finishers individually from the printer.

Notes:

– Make sure to remove the topmost finisher first.

– To remove the finisher, hold the finisher on both sides, and then lift the latches to unlock the finisher.

• If the printer does not have a caster base but is configured with optional trays, then remove the trays.

Note: Slide the latch on the right side of the optional tray toward the front of the tray until it clicks into place.

• Use the handholds located on both sides of the printer to lift it.

Safety information 7

• Make sure your fingers are not under the printer when you set it down.

• Make sure there is adequate clearance around the printer.

• Use only the power cord provided with this product or the manufacturer's authorized replacement.

Use only the power cord provided with this product or the manufacturer's authorized replacement.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce risk of fire, use only the telecommunications (RJ‑11) cord provided

with this product or a UL Listed 26 AWG or larger replacement when connecting this product to the public

switched telephone network.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the system board or installing optional hardware or memory

devices sometime after setting up the scanner, then turn the scanner off, and unplug the power cord from the

wall outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the scanner, then turn them off as well,

and unplug any cables going into the scanner.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the controller board or installing optional hardware or

memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord

from the electrical outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the printer, then turn

them off as well, and unplug any cables going into the printer.

This product is designed, tested, and approved to meet strict global safety standards with the use of specific

manufacturer's components. The safety features of some parts may not always be obvious. The manufacturer is not

responsible for the use of other replacement parts.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the risk of electrical shock when cleaning the exterior of the printer,

unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect all cables from the printer before proceeding.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Do not cut, twist, bind, crush, or place heavy objects on the power cord. Do not

subject the power cord to abrasion or stress. Do not pinch the power cord between objects such as furniture

and walls. If any of these things happen, a risk of fire or electrical shock results. Inspect the power cord regularly

for signs of such problems. Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet before inspecting it.

Refer service or repairs, other than those described in the user documentation, to a professional service person.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the risk of electric shock when cleaning the exterior of the scanner,

unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect all cables from the scanner before proceeding.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Do not use the fax feature during a lightning storm. Do not set up this product or

make any electrical or cabling connections, such as the fax feature, power cord, or telephone, during a lightning

storm.

CAUTION—TIPPING HAZARD: Floor-mounted configurations require additional furniture for stability. You must

use either a printer stand or printer base if you are using multiple input options. If you purchased a printer with

a similar configuration, then you may need additional furniture. For more information, see
